The ionic compound calcium chloride, CaCl2, dissolves very well in water, with a maximum solubility of 74.5 g/100 mL at room temperature. Dissolving of CaCl2 is an exothermic process. a) Draw a potential energy diagram for this process, showing all energy steps and chemical compounds. Include Ea, AH°, transition state, reactants, products, units, labels.

What are some examples of exothermic and endothermic reactions or processes you've seen in real life aside from hot and cold packs?
Consider a hypothetical chemical reaction: A+B → C+D (In this equation A, B, C and D stand for some unknown chemical formulas.) Here is an energy diagram for the reaction: energy (kJ/mol) 400 300- 200- 100. 0 A+B C + D reaction coordinate Use the energy diagram to answer these questions. What is the heat of reaction? Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? Are the reactants (A+B) or the products (C+D) more chemically stable? kJ/mol O Exothermic Endothermic Neither Reactants (4+B) O Products (C+D) Neither
A 4.81 g sample of an unknown salt (MM = 116.82 g/mol) is dissolved in 150.00 g water in a coffee cup calorimeter. Before placing the sample in the water, the temperature of the salt and water is 23.72°C. After the salt has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 28.54°C. If 3.12 × 10³ J of heat was gained by the solution, what is the total heat for the dissolution reaction of the 4.81 g of salt? How many moles of the unknown salt were used in the reaction ? _______ J?
You are studying a chemical reaction. That reaction (the system) loses heat to the surroundings. O The reaction is endothermic The reaction is exothermic Not enough information has been provided
In order to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, water is heated to more than 500°C. Which kind of reaction is this and why? It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products It is exothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products.
